Tyre connundrum
With 8 weeks to go until my wife and I set off from Japan to Europe in our Toyota FJ62, it's time to get the car sorted out with a fresh set of tyres. My current plan is to travel with 2 spare tyres (one on the spare wheel and the other unmounted)
We currently have Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S LT225/75R16 110/107R fitted, which came with the car. The DOT code on the tyres dates them to Nov 2011.
So, I guess my questions would be:
• What tyres have people used on similar journey in their 4WD (Russia, Mongolia, The 'Stans, Turkey)?
• What tyres are available to purchase in these countries in the event that I have to buy a replacement?
• Is 2 spares a sensible approach?
And a bonus question:
• Is it sensible to consider using 2 of the 5-year old tyres as my spares?
Thanks!
